How I could wish this could end but I'd love it if all could understand
a simple fact: make an argument or an opinion without attacking
someone's character because of their opinion. Otherwise it is a flame.
I encourage opinions, but if you really feel for insults because of
differing opinions, go to bar.=20

Dear Mr. Naive 2003,
What, we're not professionals because we point out the
truth, i.e., reality about Dimitri? And now you have
thrown in your political correctness by accusing
people with different opions as "flaming".=20
CONGRATULTIONS!!! You have now also become Mr.
Pathetic 2003!!!
"Yes, Dimitri mention his software."
Please, you could put a friggin string on the back of
this guy, pull it, and get the same blah blah over and
over. Who cares if his software is good (?) - there
are several good (and better I might add) GIS oftware
packages out there, but thankfully, no one else
verbally tortures us the way he does. Hey, I know he
has the right, but I also have the right to respond.=20
If you don't like it, you get off the list!
I guarantee we won't miss your naiveness nor your
pathetic defense of Dimitri.
